Summary
The buzzards lead them to the center of the abandoned airfield.
Though it was Reg who discerned the cause of the phenomenon before him. “Good God,” the normally brusque man muttered aloud as the Cause came into view. “Poor bastard.”
And Paddy can only agree.
Because there was a man left to die of exposure — tied and lifted off his feet, attached to the remains of a structure of some kind, repurposed, surely, for this one task. Not a good way to die, even for ones' enemies.

Summary
The path of an Electro user always seems to hold fun (or not so much) surprises no matter where it leads: Sumeru, Natlan, Nod-Krai... Their souls are complex, loyal to a fault, warm... but the trait they hide in the deepest parts of their existence is the most precious of all: their desire to intertwine their soul with another and dedicate every breath to their happiness.
It all begins when old records about a third Ba fragment make their way into Sethos and Cyno's hands. Little do they know what evil latched onto it and what trouble it will bring not only to Sumeru, but to Natlan, Mondstadt and Nod-Krai as well. Even less do they know how precious the bonds they form on the way will become...
A certain puppet looking for a heart, a silent Ratnik on a mission to neutralize an ancient evil, a youg Hero of Natlan searching for a meaning to his life, the leader of the Fatui willing to sacrifice him for the nation until he's shown a different way, a young dragon boy and his alchemist brother... who knows who and what else awaits...

Summary
Some places change with the times, others are left behind. The same can be said about a young man, leaving aboard a train to success—and an old man, who's watched the same exchange of goodbyes and good-lucks for the better half of his life.
He knew he'd eventually have to be the one bidding his farewells, he just never expected it'd be so soon.

Summary
Stranded on a lonely island after a violent storm, Prince Amrothos of Dol Amroth is pulled from the surf by Arwa, a fierce Haradrim woman with many secrets. Bound by necessity, the two forge an uneasy alliance as they struggle to survive the wilds—and each other. Yet as the days pass and the walls of prejudice begin to fracture, a quiet bond takes root, unsettling and undeniable.
When rescue finally looms, both must confront a truth far more dangerous than the enmity between their peoples: that their fates may no longer belong to the worlds they once knew.

Summary
After escaping the alien lab, Graham — a former soldier and experiment — had thought he found peace in a rebel base.
Now Graham is still breathing, but that’s all.
Three days after the hideout fell. Three days since Kai vanished in the fire. Since the needle. Since the lab.
He wakes up in a desert resistance medbay, broken, guarded, and unwilling to hope—until he meets Aruko. A quiet doctor with green eyes and a gentle way of waiting.
This isn’t a mission.
This isn’t healing.
But maybe it’s how both begin. -

Summary
The desert of Copper Rock was known as a dangerous place. Not because of its scorching sun or frigid nights, but because of a gang of robotic bandits that reside somewhere within the sandy expanse. And leading these bandits is an Operator Drone, a robot with animalistic parts made for sturdier servitude.
Upon one excursion, they raid a small caravan of desert ships. With them, they take a large and hefty chest among other loot. It's believed that something priceless is held within the chest, and is therefore given to the bandit leader.
Indeed, there was something quite priceless held within that chest. Something more priceless than gold or diamond or rubies or any other jewel imaginable. Because what was held inside wasn't a piece of precious metal at all.
It was a living, breathing human, who was now stuck in the hands of the desert bandit leader.

Summary
Kaid Al-Yami changed the Continent forever with the Time Paradox: the reversal of exactly twenty-four minutes to save the woman he loves. Two years later, it is Empress Jessamine Kruzika who is picking up the pieces and handling the Paradox's consequences. A religious war appears to be on the horizon in Uhkhtar as the district regathers its newfound strength from the North. However, a new power arises in the east called Pestilence: someone out there is forcibly removing Oblivion from everyone who possesses it. Jessamine's ambition to mend the relationships between Empires and quell fears of Oblivion places her in the spotlight once more as a political threat. As much as Kaid can try to avoid both his revoked duty and love for his Empress, he must insert himself back into her life to keep her safe, while also answering for his crimes. With new threats on the rise, is their love powerful enough to overcome their wounds of betrayal and broken promises?

Summary
Notorious con artist Jonathan Carnahan, battered and broke from his latest scam, is offered a last chance deal by the Egyptian and British governments. In exchange for discharging all his debts, forgetting his many crimes, and assuring him his dear sister might continue to work between her two dearest nations, he must do the Establishment a favour.
Their own particular thorn in their sides are the secretive, desert-dwelling, irritatingly powerful Twelve Tribes of the Medjai, who have demanded a bridegroom for their stoic Medjai chief Ardeth Bay. Jonathan supposes he will just have to obediently ride a blasted camel out into the desert and put up with some hanky panky for a bit, then run away with an interesting relic as a souvenir - but Ardeth's unexpected gentleness and fierce protectiveness unravel all his plans.

Summary
Getting kidnapped, auctioned, and shipped out into the desert wasn't something Sable ever expected to happen to her, even though given where she came from, some might say it was inevitable.
But when her bloodthirsty purchaser Derek finds out certain similarities between them from chance clues, he's suddenly forced to tone down his sting a little... and he is not happy about it.
Fic focused on my OC Sable who ends up in Derek's route in the game. Focuses mostly on her dynamic with Derek though it's not in the sense of forming a conventional romantic relationship. I also ship her with Jacqueline so there are aspects of that, but again, it gets complicated. Title is from "Problems" by Mother Mother. At present it's likely to be 15-16 chapters, and I'm aiming to update every 2 weeks.

Summary
Nell'episodio "Tempo e Notte" quest'ultima dice a suo figlio Morfeo che lui ha sempre desiderato una storia d'amore, lasciando intendere - forse - che non ne abbia mai vissuta una davvero meritevole di questo nome. E se, invece, gli accadesse proprio quando si trova a dover affrontare il capitolo più tragico della sua lunga esistenza?
Ripercorrendo l'arco narrativo della seconda stagione vivremo nuovi sogni, incontreremo nuovi personaggi e scopriremo un nuovo finale. Ma sempre rispettando le ambientazioni oniriche, il linguaggio evocativo e il gusto di giocare con la mitologia e la filosofia propri dell'originale.
Il cambiamento sarà, come nell'originale, al centro di tutto. Sì, ma in una direzione completamente nuova. -

Summary
Rudra ne uske itne kareeb ho kar bhi uska chehra sirf dekha; uske baalon se pani ki boonden gir rahi thi, aur haveli ki deewarein jaise unki saans se gungunane lagi thi. “Kyun karta hoon? Kyunki tu bhagti hai… or main dewana hoon tera.”
Usne haath uske galle ke paas laya, lekin chuha nahi; sirf us haar ko dekha jo abhi tak adhoora latka hua tha. “Yeh bhi adhoora hai… jaise tu.”
Paro ne aankhen chura kar kaha, “Main poori hoon. Mujhe kisi ki zarurat nahi.”
“Zarurat nahi?” Rudra ne halke se hans kar kaha, “Toh phir meri har aahat pe kyun ruk jaati hai tu? Har baar main paas aata hoon, toh yeh saans kyun bhar jaati hai teri?”
Paro ne palak jhuki; usne mooh pher liya, lekin kadam nahi hile. Uski awaaz ab halki thi, par tooti nahi, “Yeh haveli bohot badi hai… lekin aap har kone mein hote ho.”
Rudra ne uske paas se guzarte hue dheere se kaha, “Toh phir chhoti kar lein? Ek kamra, jahan sirf main hoon… or tu.”
Uske lafz uske kaan ke itne kareeb the ke Paro ka jism kaanp gaya. “Aap pagal hain,” usne keh toh diya, lekin awaaz mein nafrat se zyada sharmaahat thi.
“Pagal hoon,” Rudra ne tasleem kiya; “aur tu meri pagal pan ki wajah hai.”
